East African Cables (EAC) has introduced a short message service (SMS) based system that will enable customers verify the authenticity of cables manufactured by EAC.

How will the system work?

. All Single, Flexible and Flat cables will have a stick on label placed on the inside core of the roll.. Consumers will scratch and reveal a 12 digit code which they will sms to a Toll Free short code number 38353.. An immediate response will be received confirming the authenticity of the cable.

Product Verification

East African Cables has in conjunction with Sproxil, set up a 24hr Call Centre where customers can direct any queries/clarification on the system.

Toll Free Call Center Number: 0800 720 122

Customers are urged to ensure the scratch and verify before purchasing the cables and also to insist on getting an official receipt after each purchase.
